— This paper proposes a necessary and sufficient condition for parallel grasps. We extend the use of this condition to the task of regrasp planning. In particular, we propose a ...
- This paper is concerned with the derivation of the kinematics model of the University of Tehran-Pole Climbing Robot (UT-PCR). As the first step, an appropriate set of coordinates...
— Rendering a stiff virtual wall remains a core challenge in the field of haptics. A passivity study of this problem is presented, which relates the maximum achievable wall stif...
